Cambodia will begin installing hundreds of monitoring cameras and import four tigers from India as part of a plan to restore its tiger population, officials said Friday. Tigers were declared “functionally extinct” in Cambodia in 2016 by the World Wide Fund for Nature.

india is home to about three quarters of the world s wild tigers. in 2018, the estimated population was nearly 3,000. sam harrison reports. an iconic mountain nation nestled in the himalayas. bhutan s landscape is both brutal and serene, and in the shadow of some of the world s highest peaks, something is stirring. this remarkable camera trap footage, proof that tigers are making a comeback here. global tiger populations fell by 95% over the past century, but in this tiny himalayan kingdom, they re finally rising again. it s now home to at least 131 tigers, an increase of 27% since 2015. in bhutan s capital, the key message was that this number isjust the beginning. let this tiger report be a beacon of hope in a call to action. let it inspire everyone to redouble the commitment and channel resources towards protecting wildlife
